The project will retrofit older homes and apartment buildings to be more energy efficient
CLIMATEWIRE | In 2010, the Dutch government launched a program to sharply cut carbon dioxide emissions from one of the world’s largest and most problematic sources: homes.
So perhaps it was inevitable that in March the Biden administration announced a $32 million project to start an American version. It aims at refitting homes and apartments, starting with 30 projects in six states. Seventy-six percent of them doubted that a more energy-efficient home would raise the selling price of a house.
They are owned by the Boston Housing Authority, and the elderly, low-income renters who live there are sheltered from rising energy bills. This winter, construction will begin at the Eva White complex, and the most innovative aspect will be a 6-inch-thick facade of prefabricated panels to be wrapped around the outside of the buildings.
Perhaps the most ambitious retrofitting project in the U.S. is just starting in Chicago, where the city has selected 10 projects, most of them small, single-family brick homes that were built between 80 to 100 years ago, before there were building codes.
